Salient points

While pour of Chimney Shell by slipforming methodology.

In order to ensure high quality concrete while pour of Chimney shell, under mentioned
points are to be taken care of while execution:

1. Concrete layer thickness shall not exceed 250 mm.

2. Sliding of slipform panels shall not exceed 25 mm per lift.

3. Slipping of form panels shall after be 3 to 4 hours subsequent to completion of

placement of earliest layer.

4. The lifting frequency of form panels shall be restricted to 10 minutes.

5. Freeboard in slipform panels shall be maintained minimum 250 mm while top

layer is poured.

6. Care shall be exercised that concrete manufactured is consumed within 2

hours 30 minutes; this includes time consumed towards manufacture of
concrete, transportation of concrete and final placement in to the forms.

7. At two discrete locations diametrically opposite to each other , tilt and / or

twist and / or complex phenomenon involving tilt and twist shall be checked
@ 6 [six] hours interval during the course of pour. This verticality check shall
be exercised with “Self-Leveling-Auto-Shut-Off” LASER instrument. The
locations at ground where the instruments are proposed to be placed shall be
protected from spilled off concrete from atop, e.g., by covering with Plastic
sheet or empty cement bag.

8. Site Record indicating Tilts / Twists / Complex Phenomenon involving both

Tilt & Twist shall be maintained for hour to hour monitoring of Verticality.

9. The preventive maintenance of Slipform Structure shall be planned well in

advance [minimum two occasions during the course of pour]. The period of
such maintenance shall not exceed 12 Hours.

10. The jack rod retrieval extraction period shall not exceed 4 Hours, hence all the
requisite arrangements and activities be pre-organized and made well in
advance.

11. Requisite PPE shall be enforced and made mandatory for all working
personnel atop the slipform and below the chimney during the course of work.

12. Recommendations enumerated at Points No. 1, 2, 3 and 4 shall vary as per

climatic conditions [specifically temperature, wind and humidity], super
plasticers used, cement grade and quantity used and ingredients of concrete
among other factors influencing the concrete viz. workability.
